Event information

Old Baby Mackerel play high-energy, foot-stomping Bluegrass with three-part harmonies. Their music uses the rhythmic sounds of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the virtuosic sound of blistering solos and tasteful harmonies. Come see a special evening of bluegrass music live in Leeds.

For support this evening we have the brilliant Lewis Pugh! Lewis Pugh is a prolific songwriter influenced by everything from bluegrass, country, folk through to skiffle and punk. Brought up going to bluegrass and folk festivals with his family who were often performing, such as Cambridge Folk Festival and Edale Bluegrass Festival, Lewis' appreciation of roots music came at a young age.
After playing in countless punk and metal bands from age of 12 until 26, Lewis gradually shifted back to the music of his upbringing. Self-releasing his first solo album in 2017, he has since released 'Dark Wheels turn Above Our Heads' in 2020 and 'Bullets for Bread' in 2024, finding a sound which lies between country, folk and bluegrass with a distinct political slant.
